That guy has had a tough 4 years and it is NOT getting any easier.

Theoretically, whether or not he could win depends on what we see over the next couple years.

If he solves the fiscal issues in a sane and balanced way, gets the Dream Act passed, successfully finishes ACA, gets out of Afghanistan, economy recovers, fer sure...we are still pretty screwed up as a country.

Absolutely, but he'll be "Big Dog" in the next race. Someone else needs to take over. HopeHoops Nov 2012 #18
